Pearman, Nicholas, Clent, Will
proved
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicholas Pearman was named as
executor of his fathers will. However, the date of
the marriage between Nicholas and
Sara (when this Nicholas would have been 40)
and the fact that Thomas inherited
the lease of Hollow Cross Farm (implying that he
was the oldest son) suggest that
this Nicholas may have died in childhood and
another unrecorded son named Nicholas
was born after Thomas in c1647. The will of
Nicholas Pearman might clarify
this.
Nicholas married twice:

elected guardian. An inventory of the goods of Ambrose
Pearman (
died in Oct 1714, required Ambrose
to pay £90 to his younger brothers and sisters, an
amount that would have rendered him
bankrupt. Did this have a bearing on his early death?
The Letter of Administration (
signature matches that of his cousin (son
of Nicholas Pearman and Sara). The Unkle John
may have been the childrens direct
uncle (Ambroses younger brother) or their second cousin,
Richards younger brother.

a debt of £1 to a Mary Small,

Notes
1. There are references in Clent
Parish records to Richard Pearman (1669) and Tho:
Parman
[sic] (1679) as churchwardens possibly father and son?
2. The four surviving children
John, Sarah, Samuel and Anne correspond to four
executors of the will of Thomas Pearman.
The two other beneficiaries were Mary, Thomass
widow, and their son, Ambrose
Pearman.
3. Mary Cookes may have been
born c1640 in Stoke Prior, the daughter of Humphrey and
Jane Cookes, but as her last
child was born in 1699 this seems unlikely.
